Summary Prospectus dated April 30, 2010
and the
Prospectus dated April 30, 2010
On October 19, 2009, Morgan Stanley, the parent company of
Van Kampen Investments Inc., announced that it has reached a
definitive agreement to sell substantially all of its retail
asset management business to Invesco Ltd. (“Invesco”).
The transaction (“Transaction”) affects the part of
the asset management business that advises funds, including the
Van Kampen family of funds. The Transaction is subject to
certain approvals and other conditions to closing, and is
currently expected to close in mid-2010.
Under the Investment Company Act of 1940, the closing of the
Transaction will cause the Fund’s current investment
advisory agreement with Van Kampen Asset Management, a
subsidiary of Van Kampen Investments Inc., to terminate. In
connection with the Transaction, the Fund’s Board of
Trustees (the “Board”) has approved, subject to
shareholder approval, that the Fund be transitioned to the
Invesco mutual fund platform by transferring the assets and
liabilities of the Fund to a newly formed fund (the
“Acquiring Fund”), advised by an affiliate of Invesco,
that has substantially the same investment objective, principal
investment strategies and risks as the Fund (the
“Reorganization”). The proposed Reorganization will be
presented to shareholders of the Fund at a special meeting of
shareholders. If shareholders of the Fund approve the
Reorganization and certain other conditions to the closing of
the Transaction are met, shareholders of the Fund will receive
shares of the Acquiring Fund in exchange for their shares of the
Fund. Upon completion of the proposed Reorganization, the Fund
will dissolve pursuant to a plan of dissolution adopted by the
Board.
